Are you looking for the next big thing in industrial automation?
I
DEC has it! The IDEC FT1A SmartAXIS is a line of controllers that was designed to give you unique features and advance functions for limited I/O applications.
The FT1A SmartAXIS controllers are available in 12 , 24, 40, 48, I/O CPUs and 3.8" HMI+PLC 65K color TFT resistive or monochrome touchscreen.
Why do I call this a 'genius' new product?
It is ideal for small machines that require an HMI. It's compact but has an abundance of features. The integrated 12 I/O PLC functions built into the 3.8" touchscreen utilize all the PLC's functions. You can do a lot more... for a lot less!

Thursday, April 11, 2013Your source for Lenze AC Tech products is Marshall Wolf Automation, your full-line industrial automation distributor. Here is another application story from Lenze AC Tech involving the food industry.
Lenze - AC Tech has worked closely with a specialist ultrasonic engineering company to solve the problem of making the perfect sliced sausage quickly and with minimal waste. A traditional cured continental sausage is difficult to cut very finely in an automated process because of the adhesive qualities of the meat, when a slice is made with a normal blade it tends to stick to the blade surface after the cut is complete.
The ultrasonic company, more used to sieving and sorting fine powders than chopping sausages, has applied its high frequency vibration technology to ensure the slices drop away from the blade neatly into the correct place each time.
The challenge was to integrate this high-end technology into a slicing machine and still meet the low-cost demands of the food processing industry. The solution was simple, using a 4 amp PositionServo 940 with encoder feedback, to control the position of the blade; the knife could be reciprocated in minimal time and with maximum speed and accuracy.
Driving through a precise Lenze MCS servo motor and gearbox combination and a cogged belt drive, the thickness of the slices can be controlled along the entire length of the sausage. The PositionServo is controlled via a Lenze drive PLC unit and an HMI, in this case a 4” Lenze LCD grey scale touchscreen display.
By using an SMD drive to power the conventional AC motor that actuates the blade, the machine can be operated with domestic 110 – 240 V supply and still supply a super cost effective combination. Using CANopen to link all the machine control components also allowed minimal wiring to be used and resulted in a highly compact machine that is easy to program and very easy to use.

It's easy to think of a manufacturer and instantly think of just one of their products. If you say AC Tech Lenze, I think variable frequency drives. If you say Leuze Electronics, I think sensors. If you say Schmersal, I think safety switches.
Of course, each of these manufacturers has a number of other products they sell.
In this blog I'm going to highlight Schmersal and their complete line of matching safeguarding solutions.
Marshall Wolf Automation is your authorized industrial automation distributor for the complete line of Schmersal machine safeguarding products. We have in-house engineers to help you find the best products for your application!
Thursday, April 4, 2013If you are using permanent magnet type industrial electric motors, read this!
During certain conditions, such as frequent starting or accidental jam ups, the magnets in these motors can become demagnetized. This is something that happens over time and results in a loss of speed and efficiency at rated torque.
This is so common that your motor manufacturer probably publishes a specification sheet indicating demagnetization current for their motors!
To eliminate this potential issue KB Electronics has designed and patented the fastest current limit circuit available! It is a high-speed, direct-fed™, anti demagnetization circuit. Your motor will not become demagnetized when using any of our KB Electronics Penta-Power products!
Would you like to learn more? Our in-house technical support will be happy to help.
Thursday, April 4, 2013Marshall Wolf Automation has recently added a very recognizable name in the line reactor/transformer world: Hammond Power Solutions. Their series of reactors, the RB series of reactors from HPS are very price competitive and provide performance and value for ACVFD'S in the fact of improved life of your solid state devices are extended when protected by the use of a HPS (Hammond Power Solutions) line reactor. Line reactors, when selected for the output of your drive, will enhance the waveform and virtually eliminate failures due to output circuit faults.
Subsequently, motor operating temperatures are reduced by 10 to 20 degrees and motor noise is reduced due to the removal of some of the high frequency harmonic currents. Here are the features and some benefits to the RB series of line reactors. Most suggest using on the line side of a drive all the time, it is good advise and really good advise on long cable runs on the load side between the drive and the motor.
Check out our web site, www.wolfautomation.com to get the low down on this new line reactor addtion. These can be used in new or added to existing applications of high performane AC drive in the field to aid in improving performance and reliability. Contact us today and we can assist in sizing for your needs today.
